Fun with Pâté, a Sandwich Story

What are sandwiches, chopped liver?

A pâté a day keeps the doctor away. (Warning: we are not medical experts.)

Pâté is a great food to like, all pretentious accents and ethical quandaries aside. If the mere idea makes you shiver, but you still fantasize about going all Frasier on your date, popping the cork on the first bottle whose label featured the word "chateau" and asking in your most refined drawl if she'd like some pâaatéee, you've got potential. It's been said you have to try a food 10 times before you can say with certainty whether you like or not. The stark reality of pâté on a cracker may not exactly start your engine, so smear it on a sandwich with other stuff you like and get your 10 times in so you can join the liver party.

Got a turkey sandwich? Toss a slice of green apple on there, and pâté away. A thin slice for firmer terrines and a modest shmear for spreadable pates should do the trick. We've said it before and we'll say it again: Food Republic takes sandwiches very seriously. If you're in a rut, we're here to help.
